Speaking of love, can you guys ever remember so much overt love for the SEC than the national media has dished out this year? Especially given the fact the Michigan and Ohio State are both undefeated. | At some point, the obvious becomes impossible to deny. |

| I'd love to see the SEC Champion (assuming it's Tennessee, Florida, or Auburn) play the winner of the Michigan/Ohio State game for the national championship.
Far-fetched at the moment, a lot would have to happen.

So many of the computer polls are SOS formulas based only on the teams you have played so far.
4 of our 6 opponents lost yesterday.
We dropped from 6th to 10th in Sagarin's poll as a result.
We were 7th, but only .0022 ahead of Texas and only .0044 ahead ov West Virginia. Both of them and Auburn should jump us, and thus we will fall to 10th.

No, thats Sagarin's poll, not the Coaches. We dropped from 6th to 10th in his poll that figures into the BCS. | |

| The BCS uses the ELO CHESS from Sagarin's Power Rankings, which only bases the strength of the opponent, not any kind of margin of victory.

| Wow . . . USC at #2 after holding on for dear life last night . . . Texas gets whipped at home and they are the top ranked 1 loss team. Florida loses a close one on the road and they fall all the way to #10, a spot behind another 1 loss team that they beat??? Auburn is back up to #7 a week after getting kicked all over the place by Arkansas.
Polls just don't make sense to me sometimes.

Polls just don't make sense to me sometimes. | The most confusing thing for me is Texas being ahead of Tennessee ANYWHERE. They have 1 quality win, while we have 2, 1 of which is against a top 10 team. Our other victories are better than Texas's as well.

Auburn may be a spot or two too high, but no big deal . . . but Florida is getting screwed. | |
